@douginamug oh damn I'm following this one
@douginamug The only thing coming to my mind rn is the marian/bergamont project, which is also used by firefox translate..
but it doesn't support conjugations afaik

@phel thanks! I heard about that. Looks like a local, LLM translator. Cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
@douginamug I'm using a text file I get from dict.cc and then a shell function
voc ()
{
grep "$1" /home/docs/ref/englishgerman.txt
}
At least the german dictionary generally annotates genders. The verb forms are missing, though. But it works on the smallest (realistic) box and is as cross-platform as it gets.
@Anselm prize to you for the hacker solution!
Dict.cc seems really cool, I wonder why I've only been using Leo until now
@douginamug QuickDic for Android of course
@cedricdes not of course! Never heard of it...
Looks really promising, with conjugation and such.
Sadly, it seems to not parse the mediawiki syntax, so you get loads of `|` and `{` instead of nice boxes.
Thanks!
@douginamug you're welcome. Living in a foreign country, I use this app all the time
@douginamug
Perhaps #AnkiDroid could be useful here? There are free sets of cards for an incredible amount of topics and languages. #Anki is about spaced repetition for learning stuff.
@goebbe Hmm. I know Anki, and didn't think about using it for this. Do you happen to know if there is a particularly good set of cards?
@douginamug Sorry, only now I realize that you are looking for a dictionary. So this is not about learning systematically, but to check/ look up words. Probably Anki is not the right tool, here.
@douginamug I used Anki to refesh my English vocabulary. So I cannot recommend anything for German - but it would probably be worth checking out some of the shared sets.

i know it's a bit offtopic, but i love koreader app for my rooted kobo e-reader https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Dictionary-support
and their dictionary support includes StarDict format, which is a bit old format, but there's plenty of dictionaries online if you dig deeper.. regarding the tooling to query/use it, i don't know much bc i use it always on the ebook reader.. but i think there's python libs and probably some more software like check out https://github.com/phongvcao/vim-stardict/blob/master/python/stardict.py
